Purple and Gold Bracelet Tutorial

Created by: The R&T Showroom Team

Designer Tips

Stamp the tag with 3mm letter stamps. For longer team names, use a larger tag or smaller set of stamps. See Metal Stamping 101 for detailed stamping instructions. If you're new to stamping, get a few extra tags, as stamping can be unpredictable and there may be mess ups.
Place crystal stones in bezels, and carefully bend prongs down using fingers and/or nylon-jaw pliers.
Add a large round jump ring to the football charm. For best way to open and close jump rings, see Jump Ring Hint in Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF)
Use a jump ring to attach each charm to the clasp of the bracelet. This bracelet is oval, rather than a round bangle. Attaching the charms to the clasp, and hooking the clasp at the top of your wrist, keeps all the charms nicely visible, instead of sliding down under the wrist to the bottom of the bracelet.
